This was adorable and hit that slick, filthy heat spot I always expect from Roe’s books.

I loved their dynamic. We’ve got two alphas, Monty & Jordy, who hook up from time to time (hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot), and then enter omega rockstar Laurel, on a burnout retreat in Beauville… and BOOM. Fated mates bond explodes.

Underneath the wave of slick, messy sex, there’s also a lot of emotional depth here. All three of them have such beautiful personalities, and they fit together perfectly. I loved how their bond evolved, how blinded and needy they became, and the eventual realisation of why—if you read omegaverse with sudden mate heat, you already know. If you don’t… please beware of extra filthy, wet heat 4–5 days.

Now. I have a minor MAJOR issue.
Monty and Jordy hook up, and Monty loves to bottom for him, so in my filthy mind I was imagining all those acrobatic possibilities with Laurel in the middle. Sadly, besides Laurel being sandwiched and loaded many, many times, we never actually got that… and I was disappointed. Roe, I am begging for a bonus scene to fulfil my fantasy. Pretty pleeeeease 😭🙏

Overall: a delicious omegaverse read, low angst, high heat. Three amazing characters and a perfect HEA in bear-shifter heaven, Beauville.

“His beard brushed my neck. Open-mouthed kisses rained down my spine all the way to the top of my ass. Jordy palmed my ass cheeks, spreading my crease, and I buried my face in the crook of his neck and shoulder. I gorged myself on the rich scent coming off his skin.

Monty kissed my pucker. Just a tender peck, and I yelped.
“How about I make you come, and we cuddle?” he whispered.
Cuddle?
Jordy hummed, massaging my ass, and I melted against him. I felt so tiny in his arms.
“Uh-huh.”
Yeah, we could cuddle, all three of us.”

“My mind reeling, body buzzing, I breathed through the aftershocks of pleasure coursing through us.
I’d knotted Laurel. Laurel! He lay between us, covered in sweat and heat cum, his flesh cradling my swollen cock, and Monty’s knot was in my hand.
Never in a million years would it have occurred to me that something like this could happen.
Yet here we were.
My teddy bear and I, with our omega between us.
This was way too good to be true.”

“The kiss they shared, the tender smile on Jordy’s face, the stroke of Monty’s hand over Jordy’s pec… I was so in love with how they were together.
My first heat wave had brought fear and pain. My alphas had soothed me, but some of the tension and uneasiness lingered. The second had erased it entirely. I really did need them both, and now that I had both of their knots imprinted inside me, the omega in me, the primitive creature who seemed to only live from one climax to another, was content.”

I received a copy of this book from Roe, and this is my honest review.

This is Book 3 in the Bears of Beauville Series. They do not need to be read in order they are stand alones but I would at least read book 1 because all these guys pop up in there first so you can get a little background.

🌶🌶🌶🌶

Laurel has been on tour for a solid TWO YEARS! He is in need of a getaway and has actually been building that getaway in Beauville, but when he goes to check on his chalet in the woods what he walks into is a mess. While it's getting fixed Laurel will have to hold up with Monty and Jordy at the B&B. Monty has not so subtly been crushing on Laurel since well forever so is all to happy to help him out. Monty is just the golden retriever of Beauville always there to help everyone and that's how he actually met Jordy 🥹 Jordy has a secret dark past that we finally get the answers to and oh my gosh I just wanted to squeeze this Giant bear man. I know Laurel really needed a safe space to land after always being in the spotlight and people just taking from him but Jordy needed that safe space just as much and here is Monty with his giant heart just taking these two guys and giving them allllllll the love 🖤 This was just so heart warming but please don't get it twisted it was HAWWWT 🥵🥵 Love me two big bear men 🔥 and Laurel just accepting them and then just jumping right in the middle to get spoiled was perfect!

Even though Roe Horvat is an automatic buy I am not really into Bears so I only read this because of the author and I am so glad I did. Bears#3 caught my interest I think partly because I was intrigued by the idea of a threesome-Jordy, Monty and Laurel. My favorite of the three was Jordy because he had the most angst and I wanted a happy for him. Initially I was a little bugged by Monty because he was so talkative and I understood his reputation but the further the story went, the more I realized that there was usually a point to what he was saying and I chilled. It's like the book starts of with a familiar framework and then all these details fill the story up and draw you in even though you know it will all work out, because you become interested in each character in their own right. The intimacy naturally being this author was yummy, and I am so glad I got involved in these three fellows lives. The side characters are certainly people I would like to know too. Another wonderful treat.

I received an ARC for this book and this opinion is my own with no renumeration.

I absolutely loved this! I had been waiting for Laurel's story, and Jordy and Monty are just the perfect alphas for him.

Laurel is a bit prickly and hard to get to know after being in the spotlight for so long. Monty is just the biggest cinnamon roll and so sweet. And Jordy is the more serious alpha who yearns for love and home. I really loved the progression of friendship and relationship for the 3 of them, and how Laurel was really the perfect piece to complete Monty and Jordy's own relationship.

There is high heat, which is what we always love to have in a Roe book. I really loved how the mate bond clicked into place for them all. This very well might be my favorite book in the series so far!

I love the Bears world and hope we get more!

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I shivered, both ecstatic and furious. How dare they give this to me, forcing me to glimpse this kind of joy, only to take it away again? Please, don't take it away..."

From the moment Laurel was mentioned in book one I knew his book was going to be fantastic and I wasn't wrong. Poly isn't often my thing, but as with Double Match and Breakneck, two of Roe's other books that feature MMM groupings, this gives us a delightful, super spicy, bear sandwich of a relationship that fills everyone with joy. Monty and Jordy are adorable opposites, and I was rooting for their own HEA from the start, felt real anxiety (because of great writing) that Laurel might accidentally mess with it but....well, I'll let you read it to find it out.

Two bears are better than one. Book three of the Beauville series and we have a throuple featuring two alpha bear shifters and a rambunctious omega human…….Yes, Yes, Hell Yes!!!! World famous rockstar Laurel, who we met in book one, need a break from the glitz and glamour of the limelight and intends to create a peaceful oasis among the mountains of Beauville. Monty the overly friendly bear shifter has been listing over Laurel for quite some time while secretly meeting his needs with his bff and fellow alpha bear Jordy, the brooding bartender. Fun times turn into full blown induced heat and a discovery that two alphas and one omega can all be each other fated mates. Externally hot!!!! Piercings, dp, sharing, and every ounce of hotness that you would expect from a Roe Horvat book.

I DEVOURED this book! Ever since we first met all three MMCs im book 1, I just had that inkling that they would all end up together.

And boy, Roe did not disappoint! The dynamic between Monty and Jordy is super sweet, but because of the misassumption that Alphas can only really be with an omega, they hold a lot of their feelings back. So it was beautiful to see all three of them come together. 🩵

I received this ARC from the author for my honest review.

I just loved this book. Laurel is a snarky sweetie, Monty is a cinnamon roll with a heart of gold, and Jordy is the wounded sweetheart who just wants to make his man happy at first. Of course they all fall in love and are fated mates!

As always, Roe had delivered a spicy and heartfelt trip back to Beauville. It's everything I expect (and more) from a Roe Horvat book, and I loved every second of Laurel's growth alongside his two bears

I have never met a Roe book I didn’t LOVE. Seriously. 10/10. No notes. I’ve reread Chapter 21 at least ten times.
